MURDER WILL OUT.
The Fiend Who Fatally Wounded Jennie
BOWnl IN, the Louisville White Do
nestle, is Captured.
And q Pair of Bloody Hands, He
Breaks Down Completely.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 24.-The brutal
asse.ldnt OF Jennie Bowman, the white
domestic who was fatally dealt with by q
burglar last Thursday, has been captur-
ed. His arrest was made last night and
the guilt of the man is surely established
by his own confession. The police au
thorities withheld the news from the pa
pers until 10 O'Clock this morning, when
they had taken the miscreant, who is a
burly black negro M ned Albert Turner,
to Frankfort, fearing that he
would be lynched here. Had
the details of the capture been
made public last night the negro would
certainly have been hanged before morn
ing,so incensed are the people at the out
rage. 1t will be remembered that the
| man entered q house located in the fash
ionable portion of the city between the
| hours of ii and II O'Clock IN the morn
| ing, having first observed that all the in
| mates had left. While he was ransack-
| ing the place the girl returned and pluckily
| fought him, giving him several severe
gashes in the face with tumbler.
! The brute knocked her down, crushing in
| her skull with brass poker and other
wise dlsfiguring her, and then made his
I escape. No clue was obtained until yes
| terday, when it was found that q negro
| had been lying for several days secTeted
! in q stable in the central portion OF the
CITY. He was arrested, but denied his guilt,
notwithstanding his face was bandaged
and had evidently been cut with some
rough jagged instrument. While The
| Chief of Police was questioning him he
was called out by the arrival Of 8 prisoner
wounded in cutting sCrape. After ex
| aiming the wounds to discover theiI
| effect he returned to his office before
washing his hands, and as he entered the
police officers, who had searched Turner's
room, came in. They had found
secreted there pair OF silk
stockings and big silk handkerchief, the
only articles positively missed by Mrs
A. 7. Johnson, at whose house Jennie
= Bowman was assaulted. Colonel Whaller
came in with his bloody hands just as the
officers unrolled the handkerchief and
stockings, mute proof of the terrible crime
The sight of these was too much fol

of robbing and had rsnsacked severa

in the first year of the war and
not after the Presidents death, as
many newspapers enormously stated
Colonel Hay has in his possession many
interesting relics of the days of Abraham
Lincoln. One of the most valuable OF these
is the manuscript copy of the Presidents
second and most important inaugural
address, also the printed copy which he
read from the steps of the Capitol. The
proof slip used by the President is cor
rected in 8 number of places. espec-
iallv noticed one correction. Speaking
of the southern states he first wrote "the
southern half of the Union" In the
printed copy he made it " the Southern
portion" The erasure and correction
may not be of much importance, save to
| show how careful Lincoln was even in lit
! tie things On the last page OF the in
augural written in a bold flowing hand
are the word: presented to Colonel
John Hay, by his friend, A Lincoln"
"It is wonderful" said my host, as we
! looked over the well preserved pages,
s'Wbat interest was awakened all over
the country by the publication OF Lin
coins life. Almost every day receive q
dozen or more letters from people IN
every section, sending me curious little
bits of information that are OF the great
est value in writing complete biography
T. would have been better, of course, had
we gotten these before we commenced
publishing, but even now most Of
it can be embodied in the volumes as
published in the Century. When 1t Is
revised and published in book form, o.
course we can use more. Now, for IN

The Washington residence Of Colonel
HAY is "a her peculiar in design. In
truth It might be called Obtrusively con-
spicuous. The passer-by is very apt to
stop and look at it a second time, and his
comments are not always complimentary
Competent critics, however, assert that

is best TO agree with the critics some
times. But, however various the opln-

THE wASHITA GOOSE.

All quiet along the Washita tonight.
Except now q single tray bullet
Is hurIe1 at goose while high in its flight.
by soldier who wishe. to pullu.
All quiet along this bright, classic stream;
The soldiers are tired anc sleepy;
No noise to disturb the brave soldiers dream,
Nor the Indi3n that sleeps in his tepPe;
No sho have been fred. except al the geese,
BY the soldier who's hid in the tuicket;
He's tired of his fare-f I b IcOn and grease
And that goose, how he wishes to pick 1t.
No sound to be heard cave the water that's
falling
Der rocks in this river so clear,
And the calf that Is lost from its mother
bawling,
And the COW for her offsrriDg so dear,
And the smell of the skunk comes full on the
breeze,
And the geese high in air are now quackIng,
And the wind is now tossing the cottonwood
trees,
And the dogs by the thousand are barking;
Now. why did you fire at that nocturnal fowl
When all were in slumber so quiet?
And the wolves now set up an unearthly howl
And all seems confusion and riot;
The squaws now scream as they wake from
their dream
Not knowing it Is all a delusion;
But the man played tae deTce who shot at the
goose,
And rais ed all this awful confusion.
The soldiers now wake and their dread rifles
take,
Now ready for death, blood and thunder;
And there's blood on the moon. says the bugle's
shrill tune,
And ell are in arms and in wonder.
But where are the reds? Let them show their
he ads,
And We'll send them to sheol or hades.
For daring to fight On this fearful night
And Disturbing the children and ladies.
1t all IS q hoax, let me tell you good folks,
AS you shall find out on the morrow;
And the goose on his flight played Old Nick
with the night,
And made it ni-ht Of great horror.
Our soldiers are brave, and will honor the
grave
That they fill on Mo.her Earth's breast;
And we swear, by the stars aad the war god
| Mars,
| We excuse them for breaking our rest.
It proved they would fight In the darkness OF
! night,
| An act that a coward can't do,
When tits easy to flee when there's no eye to
see,
| And not even a star 70 give light
In describing this terror 1 find Pm In error
And thus the brave soldiers defended,
| Since twas good Jack Nestell who raised all
| TINS nj,
| But he treats and the matter f. ended.
I'm glad 1t was Jack whose rife did crack,
| That brought every soldier TO his 1eet
For any other sinner would have made them a
dinner
/ without salt to season the meat;
! But old Jack Nestell i5 known so well,
And ls always ahead, Ike the joker;l
And in the last hour will catch your righ
| bower,
! Or hold four aces in poker;
| He's always at work, and never will shirk,
Such is our good Jack Sestell;
He fred the gun and had his own fun,
But he treats and all is made well

He WALKED.
A Good Story on the Late 81. N.
HOxie, the Railroad Man.

''stories related by H. N. Hoxie, Vice
president and general manager of the
Missouri Pacific, are quite the thing
nowadays" said a veteran Union
Pacific railroader. Il have one of his
best that l have never seen in print.
During the early days of the Union
Pacific, when Webster Snyder was
general superintendent, Mr.. Hoxie was
his assistant. Snyder and Hoxie were
an active team, and one of them was
nearly always on the road, examining
its construction or supervising the
DETAILS of its conduct. At the time of
which speak, the road was compIeted
short distance beyond Kearney, and
Mr.. Hoxie had been out to the end of
the line and was returning. The road
bed was naturally very rough, and the
progress of all trains necessarily very
slow. Somewhere west of Kearney a
tramp boarded Mr.. Hoxie's train and
attempted to work the conductor for a
free ride to Omaha. The conductor
resisted his plea, but his opportunities
became so pressing and pathetic that he
was finally referred to Mr.. Hoxie. Let
YOU ride to Omaha for nothing? No.
When we get to the next station the
conductor will put you off, The order
was strictly complied with, and the
discounted beat forced out of the car
and on to- the depot platform at
Kearney. To say that Mr.. Hoxie was
surprised when, upon alighting from
the train at Omaha, the first person he
encountered was the iden teal tramp,
would be but to put it very mildly. How
did you get here?' inquired the aston
ished official. The tramp tenderly and
caught Mr.. Hoxie's sleeve
and pulled him around behind the car
and out of the hearing of the crowd. III
didn't want to give your old road away
to the mob said the tramp-'I |
walked" .-l. ae--.t iit3
